Textbook Question

Chapter 10.5, Problem 71E

Medicine. The average healing time of a certain type of incision is 240 is hours, with standard deviation of 20 hours. What percentage of the people having this incision would heal in 8 days or less? Assume a normal distribution

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.

1.3. The dots of Output 2 lie in pairs. Why? What property of esin(x) gives rise to this behavior?

1.6. By manipulating Taylor series, determine the constant C for an error expansion of (1.3) of the form wj−u' (xj) ~ Ch¼u (5) (x;), where u (5) denotes the fifth derivative. Based on this value of C and on the formula for u(5) (x) with u(x) = esin(x), determine the leading term in the expansion for w; - u'(x;) for u(x) = esin(x). (You will have to find maxε[-T,T] |u(5) (x)| numerically.) Modify Program 1 so that it plots the dashed line corresponding to this leading term rather than just N-4. This adjusted dashed line should fit the data almost perfectly. Plot the difference between the two on a log-log scale and verify that it shrinks at the rate O(h6).
